Microsoft has finally announced that Halo 5: Guardians will launch worldwide on October 27, exclusively on Xbox One.

Microsoft also unleased two live action trailers that sets up what looks to be a seriously epic showdown – pitting Master Chief against the one of the UNSC’s best – Spartan Locke.  The first trailer, titled “All Hail,” shows Spartan Locke drawing is gun on a wounded Master Chief, questioning his legacy and motives. The second trailer, “The Cost,” shows the Master Chief with the upper hand over an equally injured Spartan Locke, asking the question – Traitor or Hero?

“We wanted Halo 5: Guardians to be the game that pays off the epic promise of the Halo universe in scope and scale and drama. We want to amaze players with the sheer size of the worlds and battles they’ll experience, even as they question everything they thought they knew about its heroes, marvels and mysteries. #HunttheTruth is only the beginning and we can’t wait to debut the game to Xbox fans around the world at E3 this June.” said Bonnie Ross, Head of 343 Industries.

On March 22, Xbox and 343 Industries revealed “Hunt the Truth” – an episodic narrative audio series, now available on HuntTheTruth.tumblr.com. Episodes are set to be released each week via Tumblr and syndicated across multiple podcast platforms, leading up to this years E3 in June.

Check out both of the trailers below and decide for yourself.
